The Hidden Dangers of the Good Life | Lewis Howes
The Summit of Greatness is back! Buy your tickets today – summitofgreatness.com –
Today, we’re going to talk about the dangers of the good life. Maybe you’ve worked your entire life to reach the “good life”. You’ve worked hard to reach a level of comfort and safety – and there’s nothing wrong with that. But once you got there, did you ever feel like something was missing? Did you ever feel unfulfilled, or there was something more out there waiting for you?
When we strive to reach comfort, our safety can often leave us with a scarcity mindset because we’re afraid of losing what we worked so hard for. I respect that, but I also believe that we were meant for SO MUCH MORE. We were meant to unlock our inner greatness and live fulfilling lives full of love and peace.
In this episode, I invite you to step outside of your comfort zone. Maybe you’re following a path you think you’re SUPPOSED to be doing, but you know it’s not what you were BORN to do. Maybe you were on the right path for a season, and now your story has taken an unexpected turn. Wherever you are, you can choose to stay stuck, or choose to break free.
In this episode you will learn,
- What is “the good life” we’re taught by modern culture? Let’s define that.
- Why so many people are lacking a sense of purpose.
- How having a meaningful mission will end the temptation to endlessly wander aimlessly.
- Lewis’s personal story of finding his meaningful mission from a very low point.
- Why comfort isn’t always bad, and when to embrace and celebrate your wins.
